Clean, cheap

A nice clean simple motel that is old but well maintained. The biggest drawback is proximity to railway

Clean motel, friendly service. One of the older inns. The only negative is the railroad tracks directly behind our room shakes the whole building and No in-room coffee maker. Great price for an overnighter. Would definitely stay here again.

Best in Class

You won’t find a better deal for the price. No frills but it was clean and quiet. It’s close to the train tracks, but I always bring ear plugs because I am a light sleeper. It didn’t seem to bother me. I travel about 100 nights a year, I would definitely stay here again.

Will stay again

The bathroom vanity was broken on bottom door and water stained. They could do with a few "soft" pillows as I woke with a neck ache. But overall it was very clean and comfy and I would stay there again and the price was great!!!

Best place to stay in Van Horn

The desert inn was the best place I stayed on my trip. The staff are so kind and helpful and even stayed late for me when I knew I wouldn't arrive by check in time. They saved me from another cold night in the woods! The rooms aren't the biggest or fanciest but they're very nice and absolutely cannot be beat for the price. Would absolutely stay again and will only ever stay here if I'm in Van Horn.

Stem walls thin walls means you can hear every single step, every word, fridge door, car door, & bathroom flush, from your 5 person neighbors, who, for some reason, don’t sleep at all throughout the night. This is being written at 4am after a long, sleepless night for the author. The woman at the front desk was friendly. Did I mention the passing trains? I hate this room. At least there were no bedbugs.

Great example of an older property that has been nicely renovated. Area outside was foul smelling of oil/gas. It sounded like the train tracks were right behind the property - bring your earplugs; the trains are very loud! Good towels; would have been nice to have places to hang them in the bathroom.
